Locksy - App Lock & Password

Protect your apps, private photos and personal data with Locksy App Lock — a fast, lightweight privacy lock for Android.

Lock apps with your fingerprint, PIN, pattern or face unlock. Protect chats, social apps, Gallery, email, banking apps, Settings and more. Locksy gives you quick access to the apps you want while keeping everyone else out.

No account required. Your lock credentials stay on your device.

LOCK APPS WITH FINGERPRINT, PIN OR PATTERN

• Fingerprint app lock

• PIN lock

• Pattern lock

• Face unlock on supported devices

Locksy works with apps already installed on your phone and can also protect newly installed apps automatically.

PROTECT ANY APP ON YOUR PHONE

Add an extra layer of privacy to messaging and chat apps, social media, Photos and Gallery, email, banking and payment apps, notes, Settings, games and other personal apps. Choose the apps you want to protect and Locksy shows the lock screen whenever someone tries to open them.

PRIVATE PHOTO & VIDEO VAULT

Move private photos and videos into Locksy's secure vault so they stay hidden from normal Gallery browsing. Open the vault with your fingerprint, PIN or pattern.

INTRUDER SELFIE

Enable Intruder Selfie and Locksy can capture a photo after an incorrect unlock attempt, with the app and time. Camera permission is only needed when you turn this feature on.

UNINSTALL & SETTINGS PROTECTION

Lock Settings and turn on uninstall protection so someone using your phone can't remove Locksy or change your protection without your PIN.

SMART LOCK OPTIONS

• Timed app locking

• Location-based unlock

• Automatic locking for new apps

• Fake cover and disguise lock screens

FAST & LIGHTWEIGHT

• Small, lightweight app with a fast lock screen

• Low battery usage, runs quietly in the background

• Supports Android 8 and above on major phone brands

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Locksy does not require an account. Your PIN, pattern and biometric data stay on your device. Locksy does not read your messages, chats or app content to protect your apps.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE (OPTIONAL)

Locksy uses Android's AccessibilityService API for two app-lock features you choose to turn on:

• Detect which app has just opened, so the lock screen appears right away for the apps you protect, even when your phone stops Locksy's background service.

• Uninstall protection: show your PIN on the uninstall screen and the "Deactivate & uninstall" page, so Locksy can't be removed without your PIN. On Android 14 and later this requires Accessibility.

Locksy only checks which app is in the foreground. It never reads the text or content on your screen, and no data from the Accessibility Service is collected, stored off your device or shared. Accessibility stays off until you turn it on in Android Settings → Accessibility, and you can turn it off at any time. Locksy is not an accessibility tool.
